I left a similar post... I doubt she will back or this thread is real? .. I have read many threads like this and from posters with very little posts.  Another hit and run poster.Woman Indifferent


 

 

@apple1964  She has been back.  Post 66 yesterday.


Good for her... i still do not buy her made up attention seeking story.

It really doesn't matter if it's 'true' or not.  (I believe it is.) What's important is that there could be some people here who have slightly similar experiences.  It's possible that some people don't speak up (or remain in a rut) because they're afraid that most people won't believe them.   Which is true, in many (maybe most) cases.   Just wishing O/P and other posters safety and well-being.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Also, the Op doesn't seem to have any "other" posts like this. Our replies could help others in this situation (without them having to post tmi).

Re: Please Offer Help-Stalker

I'm so sorry you have to go through this.  I have not read many responses so maybe this has been said allready but, Please start the process of getting a restraining order on him. as others have said  it puts him on the suspect list.  tell him to go away and STAY away, FOREVER. none of this "If I want to see you I'll let you know" stuff.  That's an opening in his book.  and most importantly others have advised getting a gun.  put some real HARD THOUGHT into that. If you get a Gun.  Get a gun, Learn how to use the gun and most especially,  If you are in a situation where you have to reveal it to him, BE PREPAIRED TO USE THE GUN. he may just take it from you and shoot you.  So think about that.  I hope you get some help and have some peace.

Re: Please Offer Help-Stalker

  Starting a thread about this issue here is not going to solve this problem, by some of you telling the O/P to get a gun? Bad advice the O/P will end up getting herself in more problems then she appears to be in. I was in this situation and I went to the police and then I went for therapy after my situation was resolved. That is what a normal person does not to seek negative attention from nameless and faceless people typing on a shoppers channel. That is why this thread seems bogus to me on many levels. Have a nice day!

Re: Please Offer Help-Stalker

I have no idea if this post is genuine or not, but I have no reason to disbelieve her so I will give her the benefit of the doubt. Generally if people are making up a story they don't include details that reflect badly on them (her continuation of texting with him when she knew she shouldn't).

 

To the OP:

Several others have also said to reach out to the police, and I do think that's the best advice any of us can give. Go by your local police station and ask to speak to an officer. It's highly likely they have a lot of experience in this area, and can help.

 

Here's hoping your situation improves and this is all behind you soon!

We were stalked by an employee. He threated DH's life. We had to go court after we filed a restraining order.
